Mickey goes to the zoo and experiences the frustration only a hobby photographer can know: his subject, a cute baby panda, is blocked every time he tries to get a shot. You would think the real lesson here is that all of Mickey’s shots are ruined by an automatic flash.

No flash pictures!

This wasn’t my favorite of the new Mickey shorts by a long shot, but a moment of animated joy happens with a subverted “idea light bulb” gag. It’s the first time I’ve seen a light bulb over the head in a Disney cartoon in decades.

A light bulb over the head: the universal cartoon symbol for a good idea.

What did you think of Panda-Monium? If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch it right here!
